I just started a new website and I was thinking about writing 15 "unique" articles. However, in the amount of time it would take me to write those articles, I could easily add 200 articles from a website like EzineArticles.com to my website. I could probably just add a unique title to each article but keep the resource links on the bottom. What do you think is better?
Unique content is better than duplicate content on any given day. It is not about quantity but quality of articles that you should be adding to your website.
But what if all the article you add to your website aren't used by any other website besides EzineArticles.com?
If the articles are on ezinearticles.com then they are most likely used all over the internet.... If you need articles I can write them. Fast turnaround and affordable turn around.
always go for unique content - if its duplicated it probably wont get indexed or will be treated as supplemental and is therfore pretty much useless.
Duplicated content often times causes readers to quite coming. It also could be flagged by Google and de-indexed. This is rare but does happen. It is always best to make your site one of a kind by adding unique content either written by yourself or someone you pay to write. It is still already published and would be considered duplicate content. However, even it is only there now, in a matter of time, it will be all over the Internet.
Lol rewrite them, but don't be a leech on others articles. One of my new forums (no seo, no promotions yet) was pr0 for some time and after I added rss feed that a had permission to it went back to N/A. So think twice when you want to use duplicate content.
I don't think pagerank has anything to do with your content. Any PR I've ever received was transferred from another website.
you should write your own article's or hire someone who can. EzineArticles are pretty much useless and everyone use them on the net.
I think it's better to use your own unique material - outsource the writing if you don't have time. I wouldn't use duplicate content from ezinearticles unless I were just building an adsense blog - for a higher quality site where you're selling products it's better to have unique articles. DAN
Use the power article rewriter and only spin the articles one time! If you do it wrong the article will have very poor readability so take your time!
Give some unique and fresh information to your website's user/visitors by the way of writing and posting new articles/content on your website and make then return on your website to fine new & unique information which they can't get from any source...so that your new and returning visitor's ratio will surely increase..but if you are providing information which already posted somewhere else, will not give any good result....
